On March 6, 2013, a few days before leaving for Rome to join the conclave, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, now POPE FRANCIS, gave his approval for Ivan to receive the apparition at Luna Park in Buenos Aires. According to Ivan, during the apparition the Blessed Mother prayed at length in Aramaic, her mother tongue, over each priest present and she gave this message:

“Dear children! Today I invite you to open yourself to prayer. You are living a time in which God gives you great blessings and you don’t know how to take advantage of it. You are preocupied by lots of things except your soul and your spiritual life. Wake up from this tired world, awaken your soul from its sleep and say to God with all your strength, “Yes!” Decide for holiness and conversion. Dear children, I am with you and I am calling you with all my soul to the perfection and the holiness of your soul and of all what you do. Thank you for having responded to my call today.”

Ivan reported that Our Lady is shedding tears of blood for her children who have been killed by abortion.
